Chapter 40

Calista’s lips curled into a bleak smile. She pretended to straighten herself up, but she was actually trying to cover her face with strands of her hair, feeling utterly embarrassed.

Yet, on second thought, she couldn’t understand why she was deemed so unworthy and unpresentable.

In any case, Calista’s response seemed to cater to Opehlia’s sick taste perfectly. Finally feeling satisfied, Ophelia rose to her feet and

spoke.

“Mr. McGregor, I’m sorry about this. The maid has just left her countryside hometown. She rarely went out and had seen little of the

world.

“We told her to use the bank card to buy some supplies for the kitchen. However, it seems that she just can’t handle responsibilities. I’m sorry for the trouble she caused you.” Ophelia was in a good mood, and her tone was much nicer than usual.

Brian sensed the unusual tension in the air. However, he was professionally trained, so he flashed her a big, bright smile.

“Ms. Marchand, you’re too kind. This is just a part of our duty. It’s my honor to serve both of you.

“That said, the bank card is now locked. I’m afraid that I’m going to need you to enter the correct passcode if you want to continue using it,” he said gently.

Ophelia nodded and responded, “It’s 311007. Go ahead and get it done, Mr. McGregor.”

“Alright, then. I’ll do it for you right now.” Brian didn’t notice anything unusual about the passcode. He quickly slipped away to begin the process.

However, Calista was crestfallen. The string of numbers Ophelia had uttered cut deep into her heart. When a cold breeze brushed past her, it felt like even the slightest breath tugged at her bleeding heart.

She had tried entering every family member’s date of birth. In fact, she even tried her luck and keyed in her own, but nothing worked. It had never occurred to her that the passcode was Ophelia’s birthday.

At that moment, Calista truly realized how completely defeated she was. She stood there, feeling numb and weak. By the time Brian returned, she was completely dispirited. She followed them numbly, but her pride was already in pieces.
